BROWN DENIES PACT WITH TEXAN Tells House Crime Probers His Intention Was to Pro- mote Bean. (Continued From First Page.) due entirely to “negligence and care- lessness.” The whole Bean-Blanton contro- versy, Brown insisted, has ben‘]v stirred up as the result of “rumors. He explained that the public had no knowledge of the exchange of letters between himself and Blanton and that the case was gradually de- veloped through these rumors. Brown also admitted he heard nu- merous other rumors—rumors, he said, to the effect that the Crime Committee “was out to get” United States At- torney Leslie C. Garnett, Inspector Burke and himself. Brown Takes Stand. The start of the hearing was de- layed 20 minutes due to the absence THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, MARCH 18, 1935. “De Lawd” Bound for Green Pastures of Chairman Randolph. Representa- tive Schulte finally called the com- mittee into session. | As soon as Maj. Brown took the witness stand Fitzpatrick called his attention to a report on traffic acci- | dents in the District during 1934 cal- | Iy endar year. | Fitzpatrick told him information had reached the committee that vari- ous precincts had ‘“covered up” a number of accidents. Brown explained | that he had learned the data was not complete due to neglect and not to attempt to “cover up.” . “The cases involved were minor and not major accidents,” Brown ex- plained. The official report of the Police De- partment showed 7.562 accidents in | the year, whereas Fitzpatrick declared | the total should be over 10,000. patrick asked him to explain 2,700 accidents could go unreported, and especially one precinct which failed to report 900 accidents “Nothing but absolute carelessness,” | teplied Brown. ‘ A memorandum sent to the force by Inspector L. I. H. Edwards, assist- ant superintendent and personnel of- | ficer, was introduced showing that a check-up disclosed there were 2,720 | more accidents than were sent to headquarters. Brown Makes Statement. Fitzpatrick next called Brown's at- tention to the correspondence between Brown and Blanton relating to the so-called “gentleman’s agreement.” Brown requested he be allowed to | Mmake a statement regarding the case | and this was granted. | “When I was appointed superin- | tendent October 22, 1932, that left the position open as assistant superin- tendent,” he began. “Shortly after-| ward the late Representative Wood, | former chairman of the House Appri priations Committee, urged me to pro- mote Inspector Bean to fill the va- cancy in the assistant superintendent | which T left. I took the matter up | with former Commissioner Crosby and | he felt that the position should not be | filled because of economy reascns. As | a result I promcted Capt. B A. Lamb to the rank of inspector and left the assistant superintendent’s job vacant. “A year ago, another member. for mer Representative Collins of Missis- sippi, told me he wanted Ingpector Davis to get the position as assistant | superintendent and he, as a memberi of the Appropriations Committee, was going to see that the jtem went in the appropriation bill so that Davis could get the position. Edwards Volunteered, “Inspector Edwards later told me he would step down and let Bean take the position because Bean contem- | plated retirement and he wanted him to get the increased retireinent pay as a reward for his many years of service.” 1 told Edwards I would like to do something for both Bean and Headley. but that I could not accept his sug- | gestion. Bean was a senior to Head- | ley in point of service “Later I heard that the Appropria- tions Committee planned to abolish the position of micro-analyst. In- spector Burke and I called on Chair- man Cannon of the subcommittee in charge of District appropriation bill to stress the importance of that job. ‘While at the Capitol I saw Blanton. He told me the position of assistant superintendent would be restored and said numerous people, both Masoas and Catholics, had come to him in the interest of Headley. “I told him I was going to recom- mend Inspector Bean because it had been my policy to recommend the senior officer from the point of serv- ice. “He asked me who would be next in line and I said Bean. “He said, ‘Pine.’ “I next talked to Blanton about the micro-analyst and he said, ‘I will do what I can about it.” " Fitzpatrick asked him if he got the position. “No,” replied Brown. Promotion Popular. “I had no conference with Blanton and on May 1 I made Bean an assistant superintendent. There was never a more popular promotion in —_— SPECIAL NOTICES.

Afterward some one told Bean Blanton had written me. “Bean, a few days later. came to my office, said he had heard about the letter and wanted to know if I wanted him to retire. I told him absolutely ‘no.’ “I think this whole thing is a lot of unfounded rumors. “Well, this coryespondence between you and Blanton did not start from rumors?” asked Fitzpatrick. ‘No,” said Brown, “but there have been a lot of rumors Schulte then broke in and asked him if he had heard the rumor that v was to replace him as super- ent. “Yes.” Brqwn declared, heard rumors and rumors.” Did you hear this one? asked Schulte, “that certain members of the Police Department are trying to put me in an embarrassing situation?” “No.” Brown answered. Fitzpatrick ‘then asked him if he had heard whether police are shadow- ing members of this committee. “No,” said Brown. “But I got an anonymous telephone call the other | day telling me where Mr. Schulte would be at a certain time. I am not | a muckraker. I told that party I didn't care where Mr. Schulte went or what he did.” Never Heard of Trailing. Then Fitzpatrick asked if Schulte | was being trailed. He replied that | Inspector Burke told him he had put | a “plant” on Schulte's car shortly | after it had been tampered with some | time ago. | “But,” added Brown, “I never heard “I have | that he had been trailed by four men.” | “What was your agreement with Mr. Blanton?” asked Fitzpatrick. “I had no agreement with him.” “It was Mr. Blanton's agreement. It was my purpose to promote Bean. | Blanton approved that.” | Fitzpatrick quoted an excerpt from | Brown's letter to Bean, which read: “I want you to know the agreement between us will be carried out.” | “I simply intended,” explained | Brown, “to promote Headley after | Brown retired.” “I heard nothing more from Mr. | Blanton after the correspondence of last August,” Brown continued, “until this session of Congress. | Blanton introduced a bill for a Civil- ian Trial Board. | Fitzpatrick interrupted to ask Brown if he knew of any reason why Bean should be forced to retire? “No.” Brown answered. Brown continued with an explanation that he came to the Capitol with Headley to discuss the trial board bill with Blanton when the Texan brought up the Bean matter. “While I was in conference with Blanton,” Brown added, “he told me to ask Bean to drop in and see him. Bean was not anxious to see Blanton.” Representative Reed, Republican, of Illinois, asked Brown if he had con- sidered Blanton's interest in the wel- fare of the Police Department. “To some extent,” replied Brown. “After Bean held his conference with Blanton,” Brown continued, “Bean told me Blanton wanted him to get out April 1. Decided to Remain. “The other day he came to me again and said he should get out as he had planned and wanted to leave April 15. “I told him in the first place we didn’t retire men in the middle »f the month and I thought it would be a mistake for him to leave, so he de- cided to remain on the job.” i Reed asked Brown if it wasn't em- barrassing to him to be approached by some member of Congress to have a certain man appointed or promoted. “Not all the time,” Brown replied. #Brown then admitted in response to a question by Fitzpatrick that he wished Blanton had not written him the letters about Headley. “The whole thing is embarrassing,” declared Brown. He pointed out, however, that Blanton had interested himself in two members of the force and neither had been promoted. Brown completed his testimony shortly before 12:30 and the commit- tee recessed until 1:30 when Inspector Headley will take the stand. — Witnesses Travel Far. ‘Three witnesses in a case of alleged cruelty to a horse, which was tried in Oban, Scotland, spent three days traveling to and from the court. They cevered 30 miles by road from Salen to Ardgour, crossed Loch Linnhe by ferry, thence by road to North Bal- lachulish and across the ferry there, afterward taking the train to Oban by way of Connel Bridge. Walter Beattle, an Oban farmer, was found guilty of cruelty to the horse at Salen. — e Marjtime Building Drops.

RALLY SOUNDS SLUMP CONTINUES PATRIOTIC APPEAL Fail to Share in Upturn of Secondary Business, Report Shows. The probiem of reviving heavy in- dustry continued unsolved today as the Department of Commerce reported substantial gains since the first of the year for a broad cross-section of secondary businesses. The report of H. P. Kendall, chair- | man of the department’s Business and Advisory Council, hailed improvements in volume increased in some in- stances as much as 30 per cent. The heavy industries, however, in- cluding steel mills, lumbering proj- ects, the building stone trade and others, show a decline or no gain | since January 1. Kendall forecast future upturn for this industrial group, which, accord- ing to leading administration advisers, must be rehabilitated before recovery can be assured. U. S. Program to Be Aid. “The enlarged Government housing program will be an effective aid to the heavy industries and through them to transportation and the consumers’ goods sections,” Kendall declared. The Federal Housing Administra- tion is about to launch a campaign aimed at a $1,000,000,000 expenditure by American people for homes this | year to reinvigorate the building ine dustries. Simultaneously, the Department of Commerce released foreign trade fig- ures which demonstrated improve- ment in exports of 27 per cent in 1934 cver the previous year. The rise in volume was 8 per cent. Value of exports rose $1,675,000,000 to $2,133,000,000. Im- ports improved 14 per cent, to $1,655,000,000, with no practical change in volume. Co-operation Is Cited. As he released his report, Kendall cited “a consistent co-operative ef- fort, freed from partisan chiseling, either industrial, labor or political, toward re-employment of effective workers in the regular channels of industry.” He predicted continued acceleration of “the progress that has been made since March 3. 1933,” as he declared reform efforts of the administration would be limited to those “construc- tive for the public: good without de- stroying the good with the bad.” Kendall at the same time moved to ellay the spectre of inflation. Fan Mail .Deluges Girl Who Asked To Hang Slayer from Threats, Criticisms, Praise, Sympathy and Proposals Included. By the Associated Press. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., March 18.— Pretty Thelma Rediger, 20-year-old brunette, esked to spring a death trap and got threats, criticism, praise, sympathy—and proposals. The comely Springfield Business College co-ed expressed bewilderment today that so much attention has been attracted by her request, refused by authorities, to officiate at the hanging of Frank McDaniel, colored slayer, doomed to die April 12. “I only wanted the experience to help me write detective stories,” she explained. One note, which she has added to a collection she says she’ll use as material for “several books,” asked how she “would like to feel strangling fingers at her throat.” It warned her to “beware” end was signed “XXX.” A 45-year-old German saw more than her request “in the expression of your striking, lovely features,” in newspaper photographs. “I think you are an exceptionally clever, educated, independent person bothered to death by all conventions, routine and banalities of the life end looking for emotional thrills,” he wrote. “I am equally ready for finish of my glorious existence or to start a new life.” He indicated the “new life” should include Miss Rediger. Anti-Religion Trend De- plored as Membership Drive Opens. A call to encourage the spread of faith and patriotism was sounded last | night by speakers at a rally of Wash- ington Catholics. arranged by the Knights of Columbus to open 2 mem- bership campaign. Leaders among the clergy and laity | participated in the gathering here, { which is part of a Nation-wide move- | ment designated as the “mobilization | for Catholic action.” | The keynote was sounded by Rep- | resentative Charles F. McLaughlin of | Nebraska, who explained that the aim of the movement is to instill deeper love of God and respect for | the Government. | “We know,” he said, “that in the | world today there exists an attitude which has its inception in a disbelief |in God. in a disregard for religion {and religious beliefs and which, if carried to its goal, means that man will place himself above Divine au- | thority and take the position that he {is not responsible to any authority | from above.” The same theme was emphasized | by Leo A. Rover, former United States attorney. Rev. Francis P. Conlon of Oblate | College said that the Knights of Co- | lumbus are well equipped to carry on | the fight against atheistic, pagan- | istic and communistic forces which seek to gain a foothold. “Atheism is just as much treason in this country as anarchy,” he as- | serted. | _ Another member of the clergy, Rev. | John Callaghan of Gaithersburg re- | called that in the early days of the | church the laity was an important | factor in preserving faith. John A. O'Keefe, mayor of Biloxi, Miss., discussed Catholic action in his section. Judge Michael M. Doyle presided. The meeting, held at the K. of C. Hall, was opened by the State deputy, G. E. Herring. ANTHRACITE FIELD SHAKEN BY BLASTS Dynamitings Over Week End Fol- lowed by Threats of Another Walkout. By the Associated Press.

The fact that the value of the orchestra is appreicated in educa- tional fields is demonstrated by the concerted efforts of the committee that has been organized to secure funds from private, public and parochial schools in Washington and the vicinity. Miss Grace Dunham Guest and Dean Henry Grattan Doyle, co-chair- men of the Educational Committee, have organized a committee that is fully covering the various schools. public school group, Dr. Stephen E.

Kubelik is returning to the concert stage here after an absence of many | years, but Washingtonians still re- member him as the man who was the reincarnation of the great Paganini. While his lean and lanky son Rafael stretched his long legs, like giant forceps, from an easy chair across the room Jan Kubelik talked and talked * * * about what effect Adolph Hitler is having on world peace; what is going to come out of the present transition period and the idiocy of war in general * * * but not a word of the “fiddler.” Different, Yet Alike.
